A new idea for public transit

[Gun Manufacturers]

Ok, I thought of a new way of public transit thats

1.Free to ride
2.Is impervious to terrorist attacks
3.Green
4.Awesome
5.Is safer then driving a car

I did this in my NS nation and most people thought it was a good idea.

The idea is:

Big air powered cannons that will blast you from place to place via cannons and safety nets. Safety nets get replaced daily.

What do you guys think about this actually being a real world?

In all seriousness, I don't see how there would be ANY possibility of this method being safer than a car. From too little to too much air pressure causing a miss of the net, net failure, mid-air collisions, collisions in the net, etc, there's a hell of a lot that could go wrong with this.

There's a lot that can go wrong with cars too.

tire blowout, bad drivers, loss of break pressure, sudden loss of control, ect.

This would be a lot more fun and in the end, isn't that what life is about?

Yeah, but at least it does not matter much whether the operator is sober or not.

Besides, we are not talking about fire missions with ever shifting target coordinates.
All of the machinery is locked into strategic positions.
The gun does not move, or the net.
And the firing mechanism can be automated.

No drunk operator behind the lanyard turning people into spam.
Much unlike a car.

1. Tire blowouts are not deadly. With modern safety and speed limits, there is a huge chance of surviving one, as opposed to being shot from a cannon.
2. You can work out a way of coping with bad drivers.
3. If you lose brake pressure, you have the e-brake.
4. Sudden loss of control? Just pull the steering in the opposite way as much as you can and let it go just before you straighten up.

All those things can be learned on an $250 course.

In all fairness, mass transit has always been a component of progressive inspired final solutions.

2. Not unless someone runs a stop sign and crashes into your car.
3.And if the e-brake fails?

2. Such things happen at under 30-40 MPH, which is by all means a safe speed.
3. They don't fail at the same time. And if you drove with either broken, you brought this upon yourself.

2. In Ontario, the unposted speed limit is 50 Kh/h and just yesterday I saw some guy crash and total his truck and nearly total a another car.
3.Stuff happens man.

Yes, driving is somewhat dangerous. Much less dangerous than human cannons who, according to sources posted kill some 30% of users.

Yes but 1,250,000 people died world wide in the latest year.

The cannons would quite possibly make it over 200 million.

And your point would be? Replacing something dangerous with something even more dangerous would, logically result in a greater death toll.

If this joke proposal is to merely to illustrate the dangers of driving it still fails in this regard.
